Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| The particulars of the sins generally confessed in Isa 59:12 (Isa 48:8; Jer 2:19-20). The act, the word, and the thought of apostasy, are all here marked: transgression and departing, &c.; lying (compare Isa 59:4), and speaking, &c.; conceiving and uttering from the heart. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
In transgressing - That is, we have been guilty of this as a continuous act.
And lying against the Lord - We have proved false to Yahweh. Though we have been professedly his people, yet we have been secretly attached to idols, and have in our hearts been devoted to the service of false gods.
And departing away from our God - By the worship of idols, and by the violation of his law.
Speaking oppression and revolt - Forming plans to see how we might best take advantage of the poor and the defenseless, and to mature our plans of revolt against God.
Conceiving and uttering from the heart - (See the notes at Isa 59:4). The idea is, that they had formed in their hearts schemes of deception, and that in their conversation and their lives they had given utterance to them. All this is the language of genuine contrition, where there is a consciousness of deep guilt in the sight of God. There is an overpowering sense of the evil of sin. and a willingness to make the most full and ample acknowledgment, however mortifying it may be, of the errors and follies of the life. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Lying - Transgressing here, and lying, seem to be one and the same thing, inasmuch as in their transgressing the law of God, they broke their solemn engagement to God upon mount Sinai. Departing - Turning from God to idols. Speaking - As it were, talking of little else one among another, but how to oppress their neighbours, and apostatize from God. Uttering - That is, first contriving in their heart false accusations, false worship to the dishonour of God; laying the contrivances and uttering them. From the heart - And when they dealt with men in ways of fraud, it was from the heart, but when they spake with God it was but from the lip. |
4 None calleth [07121] for justice [06664], nor any pleadeth [08199] for truth [0530]: they trust [0982] in vanity [08414], and speak [01696] lies [07723]; they conceive [02029] mischief [05999], and bring forth [03205] iniquity [0205].
19 Thine own wickedness [07451] shall correct [03256] thee, and thy backslidings [04878] shall reprove [03198] thee: know [03045] therefore and see [07200] that it is an evil [07451] thing and bitter [04751], that thou hast forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and that my fear [06345] is not in thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635].
20 For of old time [05769] I have broken [07665] thy yoke [05923], and burst [05423] thy bands [04147]; and thou saidst [0559], I will not transgress [05674] [05647]; when upon every high [01364] hill [01389] and under every green [07488] tree [06086] thou wanderest [06808], playing the harlot [02181].
8 Yea, thou heardest [08085] not; yea, thou knewest [03045] not; yea, from that time that thine ear [0241] was not opened [06605]: for I knew [03045] that thou wouldest deal very [0898] treacherously [0898], and wast called [07121] a transgressor [06586] from the womb [0990].
12 For our transgressions [06588] are multiplied [07231] before thee, and our sins [02403] testify [06030] against us: for our transgressions [06588] are with us; and as for our iniquities [05771], we know [03045] them;
4 None calleth [07121] for justice [06664], nor any pleadeth [08199] for truth [0530]: they trust [0982] in vanity [08414], and speak [01696] lies [07723]; they conceive [02029] mischief [05999], and bring forth [03205] iniquity [0205].
